Can you not abbreviate for future reference eg. WBSLR

I could do that but it's just as easy to type it once followed by a Ctrl-C then several Ctrl-P's.

Given the huge gap between between the Top teams in SL (who got hammered in the WCS) and the likes of your team, I ought to perhaps come up with a more fitting and realistic descriptive because you're way below WBSLR. Your team would struggle to compete in the QLD (Intrust Super) Cup.

If only! The cap would have to be reduced by half to (£900k) for that to happen. Or just boot out the bottom 4 and make their middle 8 existence permanent :wink:

The SC is set at its current level for a reason. The Top SL clubs can afford it and sod the rest.

There's no doubt that a change of coach at any time can really enthuse and revitalize a Club and team. However, doing so when the season has started, no matter that it is at such an early stage, will mean that the rest of the season will be all about getting through it. A new coach will want to change things and do things their way and without a pre-season and a recruitment drive tailored to that coaches wishes, they'll be doing nothing but attempting to fix a large band aid into place until the season is over. that's why sacking a coach during the season doesn't really work in advancing a Clubs ambitions. They may survive and start playing better, but I think that's all that you can expect this season.

A shame for the HKR fans.

I'm sure it was the right decision made at the wrong time.


Thats the problem, we seemingly never had a preseason or recruitment drive to talk of.

Whoever gets the gig at K.R, it won't be Paul Rowley .....

D.B reckons PR has the Head Coach job at Canada & also that PR has illegally approached Senior Leigh players & coaching staff about joining him.

As far as DB is concerned & has eluded to, PR left Centurions to take up this job rather than due to Pauls claimed morals & integrity claims, of course we dont have Rowley's full version yet.

Could it be Baz & Terry taking over * dumb & dumber *

What can macnamara do with the players at KR. He managed to help a top club with very good players to bottom. He's made awful decisions regarding England selection, and he can't inspire a cock to crow!

Macnamara would be a disaster.

Why? Are you printing it several times Grandad? And if indeed you want several copies just hit Ctrl-P once then put the number in the dialogue.

This may help.

There would be some comedy value in appointing Macnamara and at least he speaks the language :D

Seriously though, I couldn't se him wanting the gig.
Rowley or Webster ??

Also, they could do a lot worse than Kear.

won't happen but how funny would it be if Radford walks out on FC after the grief starts again when they lose a couple,to take over at Rervers, the handbags that followed would be worth it :)
